The second ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. It is the sole meat ingredient in the food and we have very little confidence in the meat content of the product.

The grains are of mixed quality. Rice is decent quality grain (and the main ingredient in the food), but rice bran is a grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative". It is the fourth ingredient and we note that research at Purdue University has identitfied fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.

We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.
